Menopause Journey

Arousal during menopause often becomes more responsive rather than spontaneous. This means that desire may not appear instantly or randomly as it once did, but can awaken with touch, closeness, emotional presence, and safety. This is where reframing becomes essential. Instead of asking, “Why don’t I feel desire anymore? ”We begin asking, “What does my body need now to feel open and connected?” And that is a conversation worth expanding.

Perimenopause is a natural, powerful biological transition that occurs in the years leading up to menopause. It is a phase of hormonal reorganization that can begin as early as your late 30s and for many women continues well into their late 40s or early 50s. This transition can last anywhere from two to fourteen years and no two women experience it the same way.

The Leave Me Era isn’t about pushing people away or living in bitterness. It’s about permission. It is the permission to say: Leave me to grow into myself.
